Frequently Asked Questions

What is Soft Systems and how does it work?

Soft Systems provides gentle, non-judgmental home organization and life management services for people feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or stuck. Whether it’s cluttered rooms, disorganized schedules, or mental overload, we work at your pace to create systems that bring calm and clarity. Together, we’ll identify your main sources of stress, simplify them, and set up easy-to-maintain routines that fit your life. I also offer ongoing check-ins—either in person in Denver/Boulder or virtually—to fine-tune your systems until they feel like second nature.

What makes Soft Systems different from other organizing services?

Soft Systems is more than home organization, it’s a holistic approach to your life. I work at your pace, honoring your limits and your mental well-being, while creating systems that fit your personality, health, and goals. No rushing, no judgment - just thoughtful, sustainable change.

How can Soft Systems help with building a healthy lifestyle?

Knowing what’s healthy is one thing, creating a life that supports it is another. I help you take small, sustainable steps toward better routines for rest, nutrition, exercise, and self-care. Together, we’ll track progress, reinforce habits, and make adjustments so your lifestyle supports the life you want.

Who can Soft Systems help?

Soft Systems supports anyone feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or just ready for a little more ease in daily life. Whether you’re navigating burnout, living with chronic illness, or adjusting to big life changes—like a move, a new job, or a growing family—I can help you create simple systems that make life feel lighter.

Can you help people with ADHD?

Yes, many of the tools and systems I use work well for people with ADHD. While I’m not an ADHD coach or medical professional, I can help create step-by-step organization strategies that reduce overwhelm and make it easier to stay on track. We can work together to build simple, sustainable systems that play to your strengths.

Can you help people with chronic illness

Yes! As someone who lives with chronic migraines, I understand how much harder everyday tasks can be when your body is working against you. I can provide hands-on home organization, task support, and lifestyle adjustments designed to better support your health. Whether it’s catching up on neglected projects or creating systems that work with your energy levels, we’ll find ways to make life more manageable.

Do you offer in-person help?

Yes! If you’re in the Denver or Boulder, Colorado area, I can come to your home for hands-on home organization and decluttering support. If you’re outside these areas, I also offer virtual organizing sessions by phone or video call—so no matter where you live, you can still get personalized help bringing order and calm to your space.

Do I need to declutter before we start?

No — in fact, seeing your home as it really is helps me design systems that work for your everyday reality. There’s no judgment, just curiosity and problem-solving.

Can you work with me if I feel embarrassed or anxious about my space?

Absolutely. Feeling overwhelmed or embarrassed is incredibly common, and I create a judgment-free space where you can feel safe to be honest about what’s not working.

Will you make me get rid of my things?

While decluttering is helpful for creating a calm environment, I will never make you get rid of something. I help you make intentional choices, but the goal isn’t minimalism for minimalism’s sake — it’s reducing stress and making your space easier to live in.

How much time will it take to see results?

You’ll notice relief after our very first session, but depending on the size of the project, it can take more time. Lasting change comes from small, steady adjustments. I recommend regular follow-ups to keep momentum going and tweak as needed.

Can you help me prepare for a move?

Definitely! While I can’t lift heavy furniture or load a truck, I can help you declutter, pack in an organized way, and set up your new home for functionality from day one. I’ll make sure your belongings are labeled, sorted, and easy to find, so your move feels less overwhelming.

Do you offer ongoing maintenance sessions?

Yes! Ongoing maintenance is key to creating systems that truly work for you. If something’s not working, we’ll adjust it - and if life changes, your systems will evolve with it.

How much do your services cost?

You can find current pricing on the Services Page. If you don’t see exactly what you’re looking for, reach out — I’m happy to create a personalized plan for your needs.

Can you help with digital organization too?

Yes! I can help you sort emails, organize digital files, and manage your photos so your virtual space feels as calm as your physical one.
